[PRQ#46569] Deletion Request for rq-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rq-git [2]: Upstream was only actively maintained until 2016. [a] Then there were a few minimal housekeeping commits in 2021, and the repo is now archived. [a] So I recommend to delete this now-defunct VCS package. Also, extra/rq is a totally unrelated application, which is also developed in a Git repo, and whose upstream project is still alive. So it is better to free up this package name, to allow for the potential that someone might want to post a VCS PKGBUILD for that. [a]: https://github.com/maandree/read-quickly/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rq-git/
Upstream's name was actually 'read-quickly'. But anyway, no one seemed to use this package, and its upstream is long discontinued. The name 'rq-git' should be freed for the chance someone would want to create a VCS counterpart to the unrelated but still actively maintained extra/rq. [a] [a]: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/rq/
Request #46569 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Deferring for later. Not urgent, no impact. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
